Eye A note on hunter

Because there have been various variations of the hunter and they all have had some funny faults (eg. the hunter surrounded by three wolves at night begs the wolves to wait for a second so she could run to an innocent villager's house and kill him) we would like to introduce a new hunter called the logical hunter.

The logical hunter works as follows:
- she can change her pick whenever she wants to
- if she has picked a wolf and is attacked at night she will take her pick with her
- if she has picked someone who has voted her she will take her pick with her when lynched
- so the logical hunter does not take innocents/gifteds with her when killed by the wolves nor take someone who hasn't voted her with her when lynched

Questions and comments are welcome.

I wish you two the best of luck with this game as I need to take a break. But if you don't have enough people for your game to start up, don't hesitate to ask.

Still looking for players? I'm interested. Since you're not starting until after Kath's game I'll get a break, and I'm interested to see what you've come up with.

I'll be...hm...uh...um...drrr....hmmmm....

An embroiderer? How dull...But that's what I am. Oh and relationship...I'm not related. I'm lost. Got separated from my folks and all that.

I like the idea of the "logical hunter." It will make the wolves think twice about killing in the Night, and it still leaves the Hunter with the opportunity to mess up (should s/he be lynched) and kill an innocent or gifted. So the Hunter is strong yet not fool-proof. Should be fun to try out in this game.

We can't promise you Jenny that we wait until Kath's game is over, but surely it will be on its final stages when we start.

We would have to be done with this game on something like the 20th of June (Lommy: correct me if I remember this incorrectly). That would mean that we should start on the 8th of June the latest, or something. We still have lots of vacancies on the village, but Kath's game has a host of players and some of them start to drop out from it tomorrow on - and some of them have already shown their interest if they are dropped. So we just see when the roster is full and start then. (Full roster = ideally the basic 16 players, or possibly a few more)

Valier - Elenwe's personal chamber maid
Diamond18 - Dimwë the half-wit second cousin of Elenwë
Naria -
Macalaure - Turgon's nephew and part-time-repentant kinslayer
Lalaith - Aredhel's tutoress
Firefoot- Aredhel's friend
Jenny - An Embroiderer, lost, not related
tom bombarrific ?
Nilpaurion Felagund ?

And please, make your vote on the following:
A summary of questions so far
- Cobbler or not? (4 yes - 0 for no)
- Retractables (max. 2 votes/ day) or not? (2 yes - 2 no)
- 10-11 pm GMT or other? (1 for 10 - 1 for 11 - 0 for other)
- Revealing or not revealing roles upon death (0 votes so far)

PS. We thought about that revealing the roles stuff yesterday together and thought of a third possibility of not saying it straight but leaving hints to the roles of the dead, but quite soon we saw that it would be really tough job. Something like anagramms made by the "Anagrammatical Parrot" (in the narration) could be fun, but then we should play it in Finninsh and not in English! Somehow I like myself the basic game where the roles are told, but will not be against a different ruling if the players wish so.
